Cardiac cath - Support wire or sport wire? - gk

Posted: Jun 22, 2013

In a cath report, is it support wire or sport wire? With Google, it seems like it should be support wire, but it sure sounds like he (ESL) says sport wire.

JR4 guiding catheter with side hole was used to selectively engage the right coronary artery. Short sport wire was advanced all the way to the distal vessel. After that, we placed 2.75 x 30-mm Resolute drug-eluting stent

We used a 3.75 EBU guiding catheter selectively engaged left main and the same sport wire was advanced to the distal obtuse marginal branch.

It's S'Port, - n/m

I would never thought about that. I just knew "sport" did not sound right.
